The Tease
Evans Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pray for my sin, instead of time
Big cities' action of my big city girl
Think she builds her own heaven
'Cause she finds it's a lonesome world
Filled with dirty street cars and dirty signs
I hope there comes a time when
I get to see your dirty mind
Hold your hands into the sky
Pray for my sin, instead of time
Low budget movies, change our low budget lives
There's something that joins our lonesome minds
And these bloody faces with their bloody knives
Say if we ever make it
We'll be somebody's
Hold your hands into the sky
Pray for my sin, instead of time
You are the massacre, the massacist, the tease
And you're captivating, standing in front of me
Is the reason, I'm still wondering why everyone we loved has broke away
Hold your hands into the sky
Pray for my sin, instead of time
You are the massacre, the massacist, the tease
And you're captivating, standing in front of me
Hold your hand into the sky
Pray for my sin, instead of time
So be my massacre, be my massacist, be my tease
'Cause you captivate me when you stand in front of me

We'll be somebody's
We will become important to someone
You are the massacre, the massacist, the tease
You are capable of causing destruction, capable of inflicting pain, and capable of seducing
And you're captivating, standing in front of me
I am entranced by your presence
Is the reason, I'm still wondering why everyone we loved has broke away
This is why I am still pondering the reasons for the departure of all the people we once loved
So be my massacre, be my massacist, be my tease
Be the one who brings me pleasure, pain and a feeling of danger
'Cause you captivate me when you stand in front of me
Your presence is mesmerizing
Hold your hand into the sky
Raise your hand up high
Pray for my sin, instead of time
Ask for forgiveness for my wrongdoing, rather than asking for more time
